The field of biochemistry encompasses a large and diverse field of
inquiry. It interfaces both chemistry and biology, as well as psychology, physics,
mathematics, astronomy, bioinformatics, and of course, medicine. Yet,
it's a stand-alone discipline. The contents of these lectures include : What is
Biochemistry?, Themes Throughout the Course, Molecular Components of Life,
Thermodynamics Review, Water, Proteins, Enzymes, Nucleic Acids, Lipids and
Membranes, Carbohydrates, Vitamins and Coenzymes II and Metabolism.
This book explains the following topics:
Mechanisms Of Hormone Action, Peptide Hormones, Hormones Of The Pancreas,
Hormones Of The Hypophysis Or Pituitary Gland, Hormone Of The Parathyroid
Secretory Gland, Amino Acid Derivatives, Thyroidal Hormones Secretory Gland,
Adrenal Medullary Hormones, Steroid Hormones, Steroids, Parahormones Or Tissue
Hormones.

The course note provides students with a
research-inspired laboratory experience that introduces standard biochemical
techniques in the context of investigating a current and exciting research
topic, acquired resistance to the cancer drug Gleevec. Techniques include
protein expression, purification, and gel analysis, PCR, site-directed
mutagenesis, kinase activity assays, and protein structure viewing.
